Edit: Welllll... while I think this really is part of it, a big part, I also think it's a little unfair, because what I think is triggering this is in part the first hints of how dehumanising all this is reaching the bored and disinterested travel majority. It's hitting personal dignity, and even if this is why that's finally being triggered, at least it finally is. I don't think I knew whether that was entirely possible anymore.
The media are already at work dumbing and downplaying it, with various claims that "81% of Americans support full-body scanners" and such. They don't need orders, they're so well trained they've already just swung into it. Unless one power faction or other decides to run with it (entirely possible), it'll all probably die down soon and it'll be forgotten by New Year's.
